Uhm ackchually Earth has been moving through space all this time, so this isn’t the place, it’s just the atoms which did it.
Which referential are you picking? Is it better than Earth?
We’ve done ~20 orbits around the galaxy since then so we’re way the hell away from that spot.
Relative to us, which is how universal position works, we are in pretty much the same place.
